I can't stomach cartoons like "Transylvania 6-5000" or "Mad as a Mars Hare".

This baffles my mind. Admittedly Mad as a Mars Hare weren't too good, but to me Transylvania 6-5000 is one of his best cartoons.
"Rest is good for the blood!" I and my siblings quote from time to time. For some reason, we just find it really funny. Couple that with a few great puns, and I'd say it's a real classic.

Anyway, everybody is different and entitled to their own opinion, so I'm not trying to sway you in the other direction, but in my opinion said cartoon is quite good. :)

Well for me, I find the pacing to be just a bit slack. I'll admit that there are a few funny moments; like when Bugs repeats "Abra-ca-dabra" and Count Bloodcount invariably gets squashed and stretched out of proportion.

One thing about the cartoon I also don't like is Bill Lava's pedestrian (to me, anyway) music score. Ben Frommer's voice-characterization for the count is OK; but I really would have liked the role to have gone to Mel Blanc. I can only imagine what he might have sounded like as a vampire.

But, as you say, to each his own. I certainly wouldn't begrudge your liking a cartoon that I personally didn't care for.
